Numbers:11-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And when the people complained ,
it displeased the LORD :
and the LORD heard it ;
and his anger was kindled ;
and the fire of the LORD burnt among them ,
and consumed them that were in the uttermost parts of the camp .
*
And the people cried unto Moses ;
and when Moses prayed unto the LORD ,
the fire was quenched .
*
And he called the name of the place Taberah :
because the fire of the LORD burnt among them .
*
And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting :
and the children of Israel also wept again ,
and said ,
Who shall give us flesh to eat ?
*
We remember the fish ,
which we did eat in Egypt freely ;
the cucumbers ,
and the melons ,
and the leeks ,
and the onions ,
and the garlick :
*
But now our soul is dried away :
there is nothing at all ,
beside this manna ,
before our eyes .
*
And the manna was as coriander seed ,
and the colour thereof as the colour of bdellium .
*
And the people went about ,
and gathered it ,
and ground it in mills ,
or beat it in a mortar ,
and baked it in pans ,
and made cakes of it :
and the taste of it was as the taste of fresh oil .
*
And when the dew fell upon the camp in the night ,
the manna fell upon it .
*
Then Moses heard the people weep throughout their families ,
every man in the door of his tent :
and the anger of the LORD was kindled greatly ;
Moses also was displeased .
*
And Moses said unto the LORD ,
Wherefore hast thou afflicted thy servant ?
and wherefore have I not found favour in thy sight ,
that thou layest the burden of all this people upon me ?
*
Have I conceived all this people ?
have I begotten them ,
that thou shouldest say unto me ,
Carry them in thy bosom ,
as a nursing father beareth the sucking child ,
unto the land which thou swarest unto their fathers ?
*
Whence should I have flesh to give unto all this people ?
for they weep unto me ,
saying ,
Give us flesh ,
that we may eat .
*
I am not able to bear all this people alone ,
because it is too heavy for me .
*
And if thou deal thus with me ,
kill me ,
I pray thee ,
out of hand ,
if I have found favour in thy sight ;
and let me not see my wretchedness .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Gather unto me seventy men of the elders of Israel ,
whom thou knowest to be the elders of the people ,
and officers over them ;
and bring them unto the tabernacle of the congregation ,
that they may stand there with thee .
*
And I will come down and talk with thee there :
and I will take of the spirit which is upon thee ,
and will put it upon them ;
and they shall bear the burden of the people with thee ,
that thou bear it not thyself alone .
*
And say thou unto the people ,
Sanctify yourselves against to morrow ,
and ye shall eat flesh :
for ye have wept in the ears of the LORD ,
saying ,
Who shall give us flesh to eat ?
for it was well with us in Egypt :
therefore the LORD will give you flesh ,
and ye shall eat .
*
Ye shall not eat one day ,
nor two days ,
nor five days ,
neither ten days ,
nor twenty days ;
*
But even a whole month ,
until it come out at your nostrils ,
and it be loathsome unto you :
because that ye have despised the LORD which is among you ,
and have wept before him ,
saying ,
Why came we forth out of Egypt ?
*
And Moses said ,
The people ,
among whom I am ,
are six hundred thousand footmen ;
and thou hast said ,
I will give them flesh ,
that they may eat a whole month .
*
Shall the flocks and the herds be slain for them ,
to suffice them ?
or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them ,
to suffice them ?
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
Is the LORD '
S hand waxed short ?
thou shalt see now whether my word shall come to pass unto thee or not .
*
And Moses went out ,
and told the people the words of the LORD ,
and gathered the seventy men of the elders of the people ,
and set them round about the tabernacle .
*
And the LORD came down in a cloud ,
and spake unto him ,
and took of the spirit that was upon him ,
and gave it unto the seventy elders :
and it came to pass ,
that ,
when the spirit rested upon them ,
they prophesied ,
and did not cease .
*
But there remained two of the men in the camp ,
the name of the one was Eldad ,
and the name of the other Medad :
and the spirit rested upon them ;
and they were of them that were written ,
but went not out unto the tabernacle :
and they prophesied in the camp .
*
And there ran a young man ,
and told Moses ,
and said ,
Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the camp .
*
And Joshua the son of Nun ,
the servant of Moses ,
one of his young men ,
answered and said ,
My lord Moses ,
forbid them .
*
And Moses said unto him ,
Enviest thou for my sake ?
would God that all the LORD '
S people were prophets ,
and that the LORD would put his spirit upon them !
*
And Moses gat him into the camp ,
he and the elders of Israel .
*
And there went forth a wind from the LORD ,
and brought quails from the sea ,
and let them fall by the camp ,
as it were a day '
s journey on this side ,
and as it were a day '
s journey on the other side ,
round about the camp ,
and as it were two cubits high upon the face of the earth .
*
And the people stood up all that day ,
and all that night ,
and all the next day ,
and they gathered the quails :
he that gathered least gathered ten homers :
and they spread them all abroad for themselves round about the camp .
*
And while the flesh was yet between their teeth ,
ere it was chewed ,
the wrath of the LORD was kindled against the people ,
and the LORD smote the people with a very great plague .
*
And he called the name of that place Kibrothhattaavah :
because there they buried the people that lusted .
*
And the people journeyed from Kibrothhattaavah unto Hazeroth ;
and abode at Hazeroth .
*
And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married :
for he had married an Ethiopian woman .
*
And they said ,
Hath the LORD indeed spoken only by Moses ?
hath he not spoken also by us ?
And the LORD heard it .
* (
Now the man Moses was very meek ,
above all the men which were upon the face of the earth .)
*
And the LORD spake suddenly unto Moses ,
and unto Aaron ,
and unto Miriam ,
Come out ye three unto the tabernacle of the congregation .
And they three came out .
*
And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud ,
and stood in the door of the tabernacle ,
and called Aaron and Miriam :
and they both came forth .
*
And he said ,
Hear now my words :
If there be a prophet among you ,
I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision ,
and will speak unto him in a dream .
*
My servant Moses is not so ,
who is faithful in all mine house .
*
With him will I speak mouth to mouth ,
even apparently ,
and not in dark speeches ;
and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold :
wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses ?
*
And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them ;
and he departed .
*
And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle ;
and ,
behold ,
Miriam became leprous ,
white as snow :
and Aaron looked upon Miriam ,
and ,
behold ,
she was leprous .
*
And Aaron said unto Moses ,
Alas ,
my lord ,
I beseech thee ,
lay not the sin upon us ,
wherein we have done foolishly ,
and wherein we have sinned .
*
Let her not be as one dead ,
of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother '
s womb .
*
And Moses cried unto the LORD ,
saying ,
Heal her now ,
O God ,
I beseech thee .
*
And the LORD said unto Moses ,
If her father had but spit in her face ,
should she not be ashamed seven days ?
let her be shut out from the camp seven days ,
and after that let her be received in again .
*
And Miriam was shut out from the camp seven days :
and the people journeyed not till Miriam was brought in again .
*
And afterward the people removed from Hazeroth ,
and pitched in the wilderness of Paran .
*
And the LORD spake unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Send thou men ,
that they may search the land of Canaan ,
which I give unto the children of Israel :
of every tribe of their fathers shall ye send a man ,
every one a ruler among them .
*
And Moses by the commandment of the LORD sent them from the wilderness of Paran :
all those men were heads of the children of Israel .
*
And these were their names :
of the tribe of Reuben ,
Shammua the son of Zaccur .
*
Of the tribe of Simeon ,
Shaphat the son of Hori .
*
Of the tribe of Judah ,
Caleb the son of Jephunneh .
*
Of the tribe of Issachar ,
Igal the son of Joseph .
*
Of the tribe of Ephraim ,
Oshea the son of Nun .
*
Of the tribe of Benjamin ,
Palti the son of Raphu .
*
Of the tribe of Zebulun ,
Gaddiel the son of Sodi .
*
Of the tribe of Joseph ,
namely ,
of the tribe of Manasseh ,
Gaddi the son of Susi .
*
Of the tribe of Dan ,
Ammiel the son of Gemalli .
*
Of the tribe of Asher ,
Sethur the son of Michael .
*
Of the tribe of Naphtali ,
Nahbi the son of Vophsi .
*
Of the tribe of Gad ,
Geuel the son of Machi .
*
These are the names of the men which Moses sent to spy out the land .
And Moses called Oshea the son of Nun Jehoshua .
*
And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan ,
and said unto them ,
Get you up this way southward ,
and go up into the mountain :
*
And see the land ,
what it is ;
and the people that dwelleth therein ,
whether they be strong or weak ,
few or many ;
*
And what the land is that they dwell in ,
whether it be good or bad ;
and what cities they be that they dwell in ,
whether in tents ,
or in strong holds ;
*
And what the land is ,
whether it be fat or lean ,
whether there be wood therein ,
or not .
And be ye of good courage ,
and bring of the fruit of the land .
Now the time was the time of the firstripe grapes .
*
So they went up ,
and searched the land from the wilderness of Zin unto Rehob ,
as men come to Hamath .
*
And they ascended by the south ,
and came unto Hebron ;
where Ahiman ,
Sheshai ,
and Talmai ,
the children of Anak ,
were . (
Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt .)
*
And they came unto the brook of Eshcol ,
and cut down from thence a branch with one cluster of grapes ,
and they bare it between two upon a staff ;
and they brought of the pomegranates ,
and of the figs .
*
The place was called the brook Eshcol ,
because of the cluster of grapes which the children of Israel cut down from thence .
*
And they returned from searching of the land after forty days .
*
And they went and came to Moses ,
and to Aaron ,
and to all the congregation of the children of Israel ,
unto the wilderness of Paran ,
to Kadesh ;
and brought back word unto them ,
and unto all the congregation ,
and shewed them the fruit of the land .
*
And they told him ,
and said ,
We came unto the land whither thou sentest us ,
and surely it floweth with milk and honey ;
and this is the fruit of it .
*
Nevertheless the people be strong that dwell in the land ,
and the cities are walled ,
and very great :
and moreover we saw the children of Anak there .
*
The Amalekites dwell in the land of the south :
and the Hittites ,
and the Jebusites ,
and the Amorites ,
dwell in the mountains :
and the Canaanites dwell by the sea ,
and by the coast of Jordan .
*
And Caleb stilled the people before Moses ,
and said ,
Let us go up at once ,
and possess it ;
for we are well able to overcome it .
*
But the men that went up with him said ,
We be not able to go up against the people ;
for they are stronger than we .
*
And they brought up an evil report of the land which they had searched unto the children of Israel ,
saying ,
The land ,
through which we have gone to search it ,
is a land that eateth up the inhabitants thereof ;
and all the people that we saw in it are men of a great stature .
*
And there we saw the giants ,
the sons of Anak ,
which come of the giants :
and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers ,
and so we were in their sight .
*
And all the congregation lifted up their voice ,
and cried ;
and the people wept that night .
